Billing

The pages you access through the Billing menu make billing easy, from your invoices to your payments.

Statement summary

When you sign in to Avalara Account, the Statement summary page opens and displays summaries of open invoices that you can pay through Avalara Account. To pay invoices that don’t display on the Statement summary page, follow payment directions on the invoice you received. Here's how to pay invoices via Avalara Account:

Get to the page from other pages in Avalara Account by going to Billing > Statement summary.

Next to each invoice summary, find links to download a copy of the invoice or to pay the invoice. Use the payment link to pay early or to pay with a payment method other than your default method.

On the payment page that opens when you click the payment link, you’ll also find links to add payment methods.

Payment methods

Go to Billing > Payment methods to add, delete, or make changes to your payment methods. You can pay invoices displayed in Avalara Account with:

When you pay through Avalara Account, you’re enrolled in automatic payments. You must add at least one payment method. If you add multiple methods, you must set one as the default method. We use the default method for your payments, automatically charging the total of each invoice to your default method on its due date.

You authorize Avalara to apply the default payment method to all existing subscriptions and open invoices, even if a different payment method was used before the new default payment method was selected.

All new and existing unpaid invoices are paid automatically with the default payment method.

You can't delete a credit card, but you can set a new card or ACH payment method as a default.

Automatic payment doesn't include remittances for tax liabilities. Those payments are configured separately and can come from a different bank account than your invoice payments. This is applicable for Returns, TrustFile, and Excise Returns customers.

If you subscribe to a returns product from Avalara, your tax liabilities are withdrawn from the bank account that you configure in those products. This can be the same bank account you use to pay your invoices, or it can be different. If you use the same bank account for automatic payments and to pay your tax liability, this results in separate withdrawals from your bank account.

Are there invoice types I can't pay through Avalara Account?

We're continually adding invoice types to Avalara Account, but at this time you can only pay those issued for annual services. Continue to use your existing payment structures for handling other invoices.

Pay an Avalara quote

We issue Avalara quotes approximately 6 weeks prior to issuing the invoice. If you wish to pay the quote, you can do so either by mail or by ACH.

To pay by mail, make the check payable to Avalara, Inc. and send it to:
